“This is my story about how I was able to fulfill my dream and I hope it can inspire people of all ages that are aspiring to fulfill their dreams,” the 23-year-old Tebow said in a release last November announcing publication.

The book’s co-author is Nathan Whitaker, who also co-wrote books with former Colts coach Tony Dungy and broadcaster James Brown.

Why would anyone care about Tebow’s life to-date? What has he done that is so spectacular? He has eliminated hunger, achieved world peace, or cured cancer. What a waste of time and money.

Smaku

people can find inspiration in their lives from seeing someone with a positive attitude and a never give up philosophy on life. It doesn’t matter that he’s young and hasn’t done anything spectacular in your eyes. Fact is, he’s probably accomplished more in his life than you have in your lifetime. Maybe if you weren’t so negative, you could learn something from what he’s done to acheive his goals.

Don’t buy it then, I’m not going to but it doesn’t mean I’m gonna whine and complain like you, some people will enjoy reading it. And I didn’t know Tebow HAD eliminated hunger, achieved world peace and cured cancer, weird I thought I’d have heard about that.

Seriously? So he’s already “fulfilled his dream”? I would have thought the dream would be to win a superbowl. He needs to realise he’s done exactly nothing in the NFL yet and focus his efforts on developing as a QB rather than promoting a book. I hope the fame isn’t going to his head.

Here’s a fun drinking game for your next party. Have someone read Tebow’s book aloud – with everyone taking a drink every time they hear the word “Jesus.” it should only take a few minutes before everyone is totally blotto.

Smaku

wow, there’s a new one. Someone cracking on Tebow’s faith. Never heard that before. SO original.

Tim Tebow is no longer a humble, soft-spoken religious football player. He is now an over-hyped, big-headed product of the media that loves to promote himself. He has only played 3 games in the NFL, can’t throw a 10 yard out, and has a losing record as a starter, but wrote a book describing his struggles as a rich white boy that had everything, including media praise, handed to him.

I’d much rather read a book about an athlete that actually had real struggles growing up. You know, crackhead parents, no heat during the winter, living in homeless shelters, but was a great talent and worked to overcome those issues. Hell, even a book about Michael Vick and his prison time would be more interesting. Reading about some rich white kid that went to church every week, had a loving and supportive family, and played football sounds about as interesting as reading a book about the Global Economics written by Kim Kardashian.

If you purchase this book, you are part of the problem in America.

That’s a bunch of garbage venom you are spitting out. Tebow has had more positive experiences than most folks have in a life time. You do little to improve yourself and condemn those who do. I am going to buy the book as soon as it is out and will purchase one for each person in our church that can’t afford one.

This kid is barely into his teens and he thinks he has enough life experiences to warrant an autobiography and, further, that its important. A lot of arrogance and self importance in this for this still wet behind the ears kid, but I guess when everyone falls all over you and drools and fawns no matte how how unimportant you really are, this is the result. Tim, grow upa little, get some IMPORTANT life experiences (not football) and some perspective, and then write if you want to.

Love all these idiots living in their parents basement and asking “What has Tebow done”?
Two national championships and a Hiesman winner as a sophomore are just the beginning for this guy. He’s already accomplished far more than most of the losers bashing him on this board. It doesn’t require any talent or intellect to criticize. You folks would be less bitter if you’d ever done anything worthwhile.

Smaku

Tebow is making millions, has accomplished more in his 23 years on earth than many of you critics will ever accomplish in your lifetime. None of this was handed to him. He earned the position he’s in by hard work, dedication, faith and determination. Maybe instead of ripping the guy because he’s young and has a strong belief in God, you all should try and learn something from a very successful person. He’s obviously doing more in his short 23 years of life than any of you have ever done in your lives. Try listening to people who are successful and see what you can do differently to acheive your own success in life. I’m 10 years older than Tebow. Doesn’t mean that you can’t learn something from him. All people want to do is crack on his religious faith and him as a person. Fact is, maybe you all are a little jealous that he has more interesting things happening in his life and has had great success in living his life. Get over yourselves and know that you can gain inspiration from people of all ages and all walks of life. Instead of writing him off because you don’t like how open he is with his faith, or because you don’t like the way he plays football, you should pay attention to those with success and try and learn something.

Oh wow… If I needed a lesson in sarcasm I would come to this thread! You guys are a bunch of hypocritical losers. If you had a chance to make money selling a book at 23, would you? I know I would. I would also enjoy having more life experience, notoriety and name recognition than any other 23-yr-old out there. But hey, just hide behind your computer screen and hate. Maybe you could write a book about that someday. Idiots.

It is lazy jealousy. Easier to sit behind a keyboard and bash someone else and their success than it is to face their own failures and work to improve their own lives.

Dbrown7733

I’m interested in knowing how you are so knowledgeable of everyone’s successes and failures on this forum? I could understand if you knew everyone on the forum to make such comments. Who cares if they are voicing their opinions about Tebow? I think he is more than capable of defending himself WITHOUT your help or anyone else’s. I just don’t think you can get on a high horse and assume that everyone that expresses an opinion are all failures when you’re clueless about who’s on here, their backgrounds are or their personal accomplishments. I doubt you know any of the people expressing their right to their opinions EVEN if you don’t agree with them. From that perspective, what does that make people like you?

Smaku and Masha, you need to be careful that you do not become the very people you claim to despise with a judgemental attitude..

Kardashians, John and Kate plus 8, Octo-mom, —-none of these people deserve to be famous or have notoriety, it has just been bestowed upon them. They’ve done nothing to earn it. Same with Tebow–save a Heismann Trophy, he’s got nothing worth reading about. Yet.

0369

You’re comparing apples to oranges there. The first few names were right on target about doing nothing. Although if you consider Tebow’s overseas trips to help orphans and hunger, trips to prisons and youth correctional facilities trying to help folks get it right as nothing worthy, then I’d be curious to know what you find worthy. Look beyond football, Tebow sure seems know there is more important things out there. I’m betting he’d rather be remembered in life as a good man than a good football player.

The point is that Tim really has litle in the way of life experience that is important. The Heisman and several national football championships may be interesting and entertaining, but they are vey low on the real “importance” scale. Running across the grass with an inflated balll in your arm hardly qualifies as meaningful, but the ultimate goal, a championship, is meaningless, particularly in the mercenary NFL. All you Tebow fawner, tell us how the championship really benefits anyone other than the players.
Tebow may have good morals, have faith, a good work ethic etc, but he has not fought in a war, raised children through difficult circumstances and put them through college, been gainfully employed for 40 years, been married for 3 decades, traveled the world and seen other cultures, paid bills and maintained a life style on an “average” income, and all the other truly meaningful things in life. Football is irrelevant. Tim needs to get over himself and gain some humility. He has nothing to offer.
(And yes, I did all the things listed above. Doesn’t make me beter, just give me more spective and insight).

Rich,

You are an idiot! Tim drove an old beat up car all 4 years in college. He spent his spring break and summers overseas doing work with children in orphanages. The man has a great deal of humility. I would be willing to bet that the proceeds of that book are going to the Tim Tebow Foundation, which is where the proceeds from his autographs go. I all said that I hoped he would make tons of money in the NFL because I knew most of it was going to go to his charities. You go Timmy!

dianar

…and Rich, I might add that his charity work in the Philippines has been done at orphanages where the children have lost their parents due to the Guerilla war being fought there There are all forms of fighting wars. You seem to believe that unless you have donned a helmet and killed someone that it doesn’t count. Who is left to pick up the pieces of these broken civilian lives?… especially those of the orphaned children whose fight it wasn’t to begin with. We adults need to understand the real ramifications of what we do when we go into a war. We fight and leave the elderly, children, and widowed people to pick up their lives. How does a child do that? Through the caring and hard work of people that really care about humanity. Tim is one of those people. I greatly admire him for his work.

Wisdom does not always equate with age. Some rare individuals are able to see this at a far younger age than others and dedicate their lives to helping those innocent people climb out of the horrors of what has been inflicted on them through no fault of their own.

Tim Tebow is more than just a football player, which seems to be all most of you posters know about him. He has done countless hours of community service with young people. He has done charity world all over the world. Tebow graduated from the University of Florida in December 2009 with a bachelor’s degree in family, youth and and community sciences. His “date” to one of the award shows was a young handicapped lady who just wanted to meet him and he surprised her by asking her to accompany him. Even though she was handicapped he was beaming to have her as his friend for the night. How many of these other NFL thugs do things like that? He is a good and caring man. I am thrilled he has written what I know is a book that will inspire young people to try to do things they may never have tried.

I might add that young people will identify with another young person who did not allow his head to be in the clouds because he is a great foolball player (and he will be a great NFL quarterback in spite of all you naysayers. You don’t understand him, the more you idiots diss him, the harder he works and I haven’t seen anything to date to indicate he wouldn’t conquer this challenge.

I am thrilled he has written what I know is a book that will inspire young people to try to do things they may never have tried.

You’re comparing apples to oranges there. The first few names were right on target about doing nothing. Although if you consider Tebow’s overseas trips to help orphans and hunger, trips to prisons and youth correctional facilities trying to help folks get it right as nothing worthy, then I’d be curious to know what you find worthy. Look beyond football, Tebow sure seems know there is more important things out there. I’m betting he’d rather be remembered in life as a good man than a good football player.

I’m interested in knowing how you are so knowledgeable of everyone’s successes and failures on this forum? I could understand if you knew everyone on the forum to make such comments. Who cares if they are voicing their opinions about Tebow? I think he is more than capable of defending himself WITHOUT your help or anyone else’s. I just don’t think you can get on a high horse and assume that everyone that expresses an opinion are all failures when you’re clueless about who’s on here, their backgrounds are or their personal accomplishments. I doubt you know any of the people expressing their right to their opinions EVEN if you don’t agree with them. From that perspective, what does that make people like you?

Smaku and Masha, you need to be careful that you do not become the very people you claim to despise with a judgemental attitude..

Tebow autobio might be three pages and come with crayons! Of course he can’t write about more than three paragraphs on his pro football career cause he only played in three plays.

I find it refreshing and interesting to watch a young man promote sound moral and spiritual values in the world of professional sports. I would much rather read about Tim’s experiences through a unparalleled college career and first year as a pro, than read about an ex con in Vick or an apparent sexual predator in Rothlesberger. So far, Tebow has been polite, respectful and humble in all the media presentations I have viewed him in. Wouldn’t it be a shame to see young people want to model his work ethic and values, rather than those of a Vick or Rothlesberger and their ilk. Whether or not Tebow will ultimately succeed in the pros shouldn’t dispel his amazing accomplishments to this point in his athletic career. I think most of his detractors resent him because his lives his faith and values and most of them don’t – it’s called conviction, and it is refreshing to see it on display in a professional athlete, whether he is a super-bowl MVP or not. If you don’t like him, that is your business, but you certainly can’t point fault at the kid in the way he has handled himself to this point, he has been exemplary as a man, and a Christian example. I for one would not hesitate to point to him as a role model for young aspiring athletes. As far as what he had to overcome, why don’t you read his book and find out, you can check it out from the library if you don’t want to spend your money, you might learn something. Keep up the great attitude and example Tim.

How arrogant can you be? It’s all about him!

i’m guessing he is mainly writing for readers his own age and younger, people without the vast knowlege age gives everyone commenting on this board. how many people who think it’s all about tim have ever volunteered for any thing? this kid was born and raised in the mission field, working to make a better life for the unfortunates of the world. i think the arrogance is in judging tim tebow. i’d say try walking a mile in his shoes, but i feel that many, including myself could not fill them.

most autobiographies are about the person that wrote them??!!!??

Why don’t we all read the book before passing judgment – I’m sure some local libraries will have it for those who don’t want to purchase it. Though I agree that an autobiography at age 23 is more than a little presumptuous, there’s no requirement that a person have something “wise” or “important” to say to publish. It happens all the time.

Give Tebow a break before pronouncing judgment on the kid. He’s been under greater scrutiny than most, far more than Elway had, and he seems to be holding up fine. Would you guys rather have Cutler back?

BTW, almost without exception, all the great NFL QBs came from big time college programs and had great performance numbers. You don’t learn how to handle the pressure, complete a pass, or not throw an interception when a player gets to the NFL.

Tebow’s college numbers are better than what Rodgers or Roethlisberger did. He also outperformed Brady, both Mannings, Brees, Rivers, Fahr, Romo, Warner, and Montana. And yes, even far better than Elway’s.

If college performance is any prediction, Tebow could end up being one of the best and McDaniel’s greatest legacy in Denver.

BTW2: his performance in 2 1/2 games was far better than John Elway’s first 2 1/2 games. Elway’s first year was terrible. His second was much better but he really didn’t become the Elway we remember until his third year.
